Land of Hot Water, North.
Dodai in the courtyard was leaning against a corner, spitting out a steady stream of rubber from its mouth to defend itself against the enemy's attack.
At this time, in addition to being blind in one eye, he also had an arm cut off from his back. In addition, he also had wounds caused by countless swords of various sizes.
Snake Shadow, which is Lightning Release that Hatake Sakumo is good at, is also unable to cause effective damage to rubber.
Both Shikun Mitarashi and Snake Shadow can only use Lightning Release to stimulate and activate their own flesh cells, and try to use sword skills to kill the enemy.
"Master Zixiao! The enemy's reinforcements are coming!"
A Konoha Ninja shouted, Inoichi Yamanaka knew that there were some things that he could not see, so he notified other Konoha Ninja in the attachment and did not rush to connect with Shikun Mitarashi's mind.
Although he has sensed an extra Chakra in the courtyard, he is a smart man and knows what not to say.
Shikun Mitarashi turned to look at Snake Shadow and asked for his opinion.
"Let's go. Our companions are more important than the mission. Besides, the command level has been attacked. This means that we may take out the enemy's brain at any time. Third Raikage will come back to support us."
Shikun Mitarashi nodded.
"Retreat!"
The ninja connected to Inoichi Yamanaka heard the command, and Inoichi Yamanaka naturally heard the command and relayed it.
Soon, in just a short moment, Konoha Ninja had already walked away.
Hot Spring City battlefield.
Jiraiya was helplessly slumped in the corner, letting Ayaka Kimura do whatever he wanted.
Today's battle is extremely fierce. If Third Raikage is allowed to take action, Konohagakure might be defeated today.
He had to take action again, but the injury could no longer hold him back.
Kumogakure's recent offensive has become more and more fierce, as if he is desperate for his life.
Konoha Ninja knew that Orochimaru had cut off Kumogakure's supply line in the rear, and his morale was boosted, but Kumogakure became even crazier.
They attempt to capture Hot Spring City before their remaining supplies are exhausted.
All Konoha Ninja know that as long as they hold on for this period of time, Kumogakure will inevitably retreat due to lack of supplies. When the time comes, they will join forces with Orochimaru and launch a massive counterattack, and Konohagakure will win a big victory.
A big victory is the inevitable result of the general trend formed by the accumulation of bits and pieces, but this period of time can be called the night before dawn, it is the most difficult and cruel.
In the Kumogakure camp, Third Raikage became more and more angry as he thought about it, and smashed the table in front of him with a slap.
Bastard Orochimaru! Bastard Jiraiya!
Fourth Raikage candidate has taken over Ai's name and also smashed a table simultaneously.
Raikage Secretary:... Good guy, I have to change two tables this time. I have to buy a cheaper one next time.
"Dad, let's play again tomorrow! Let's work together and this Hot Spring City will be defeated! Then we will enter Konohagakure and win the bird position! Dad will do Raikage, and I will do Hokage..."
"Duang~"
"Why, do you still want to be Hokage and dad and me Raikage?"
Fourth Raikage touched the big bag that was exactly the same as Asuma Sarutobi and did not dare to speak.
It's hard to imagine how a muscular man could do such a thing.
"We have to go back..."
"Why, Dad!"
"Look at this document."
"Dodai was assassinated and unconscious? Konohagakure's Purple Lightning? Is he so fierce? His name is more prestigious than mine!"
"You don't need a name! Yotsuki Clan's Ai itself represents the strongest name of Land of Lightning!"
Third Raikage has golden hair flying like a lion.
Rather than saying that Kumogakure is the military organization of Land of Lightning, it is actually more like a gang.
Their management is not as complicated as Konohagakure. As long as they are the strongest, they can serve as Raikage.
This was also one of the reasons for the Gold and Silver Brothers rebellion that year.
Not only are they dissatisfied with Second Raikage's strategy to end the war, but they also have Six Paths Tools in their own hands and believe that their strength is no less than Second Raikage.
But the good thing is that the capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. There are not many ways to use relationships, and they all rely on fists to speak.
Now Kumogakure is the village with the least internal conflicts. Ōnoki in Iwagakure is still at odds with Roshi.
There used to be a think tank named Dodai, who could sort out all aspects of Kumogakure in order, but now Dodai is unconscious.
Now there must be someone with enough weight in the rear to calm people's hearts and stabilize the situation.
"Ai, you take the large army back to the village."
"Then dad, what are you doing?"
"Dodai's matter can't be forgotten so easily! I want to kill that dead snake myself!"
Although Third Raikage is reckless, he is very sober. If Orochimaru and others are allowed to continue causing chaos, they will be a huge threat.
Even if Orochimaru cannot be killed, Third Raikage will still bite Orochimaru to prevent him from continuing to cause trouble.
This poisonous snake is not only powerful, but also good at playing tricks. If he is allowed to do what he does, I am afraid it will cause a lot of losses.
The next day, the morning light was slightly bright.
Jiraiya didn't even change his clothes, just resting on the bed.
Last night he personally patrolled late into the night, and only after confirming that Kumogakure would not launch a night attack did he return to the camp and sleep hastily.
"Lord Jiraiya!"
The shouts of his subordinates were heard outside the door.
"What happened? Shibi, did Kumogakure attack again?"
Jiraiya didn't care about his own image and woke up immediately.
"Kumogakure has withdrawn its troops!"
Jiraiya heard Konoha Ninja cheering from outside.
They were under too much pressure during this time.
"Great! It seems that Orochimaru's plan has been successful! Please inform us and be prepared to regain the lost ground!"
Jiraiya gave the order decisively. He knew Orochimaru's plan. If Kumogakure retreated, he would definitely retreat a short distance away.
Jiraiya's guess was correct. Kumogakure did retreat a long distance, all the way to the place where Orochimaru used Earth Mountain to intercept it.
Here, the river water cut off by Earth Mountain has continued to accumulate and has turned into a lake-like reservoir. The place where Orochimaru and the others fought has been covered by the lake.
Fourth Raikage looked at the tall Earth Mountain in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the power of Orochimaru's ninjutsu.
The Ninjutsu launched by one person is greater than the Ninjutsu launched by an entire Earth Release army. It seems that this Orochimaru is indeed a powerful opponent.
The belligerent Fourth Raikage has already started to feel itchy hands.
Fourth Raikage's hands were itchy, but Third Hokage was so angry that his teeth were itching.
These Konoha Ninja are so good at running, they can run even better than rabbits!
The teams of Orochimaru, Yūhi Shinku, and Shikun Mitarashi had already merged after completing the assassination of Dodai.
When Orochimaru was selected, they all chose ninjas who were fast or had strong Sensory Ability as members.
These abilities are very suitable for escaping. Even if you are surrounded, Hizashi Hyuga can rely on Byakugan to detect it first.
Not to mention that the team is led by Orochimaru, the number one escape master in the history of Shinobi World.
